Publisher's Synopsis
Empowerment is a concept which refers to providing more power to the particular beneficiary to make them feel confident and motivated whether at work or at home. The main purpose of empowerment is to bring about the improvement in performance and confidence.
Blogging on the other hand is short for "weblog," which refers to an online journal. Blogs began as personal mini sites that people used to record their opinions, stories, and other writings as well as photos and videos. As the web has grown and changed, blogs have gained more recognition and merit.
When a personal blog is used as a digital journal, the benefits derived not only empower the blogging individual, but can extend to an infinite number of people around the world, if the blogger chooses to make his/her blog posts public. Or the blogger can keep their blog password-protected and offer viewing to only a select group of people. Or keep the blog entirely private for the blogger's eyes only.
The benefits gained from a personal blog are much the same as they are for pen and ink journaling but because a blog can also have images and videos, it is a platform for more media choices to get one's message across whether kept personally or made public to help others.
In my book Empowerment through Blogging, we explore the many benefits derived from digital journaling in a personal blog, such as:
- - healing from emotional trauma
- - coping with stress
- - communicating your thoughts and desires more clearly
- - increasing your odds at success
- - and in general, how blogging empowers one to be a greater self than before
The benefits of digital journaling through using a personal blog are just too numerous to ignore. If you currently journal using pen and paper, set up a personal blog and try it the digital way.
